djvdakota Member	posted May 18, 2004 02:18 PM OK. I'm ignorant. Someone please educate me. How does one separate a quoted segment as seen in Jules's post on MaryRobinette's post titled "Punctuation Question?" (It's the fourth or fifth post down) IP: Logged

djvdakota Member	posted May 18, 2004 02:40 PM Thanks, Eric! IP: Logged
MaryRobinette Member	posted May 18, 2004 03:02 PM Ironically, I had to go looking to remember how to do that. It turns out that when you are posting, there's a link to the left of the text box that says "UBB Code is ON". If you click that it takes you to the same page Eric mentioned with instructions of other cool things. Also in the category of "it took me too long to realize" is that there's a window at the bottom of the post screen that shows the topic that's being discussed. Handy for grabbing and quoting things.

UnheardOf Member	posted May 18, 2004 03:16 PM Hey....! There is a frame down there for the current topic. And I've been opening up new windows all this time. Thanks, Mary! IP: Logged
MaryRobinette Member	posted May 18, 2004 09:40 PM It's funny how useful an inadvertant slip of the mouse wheel can be. IP: Logged
Rahl22 Member	posted May 19, 2004 12:24 AM I think we even had an entire thread devoted to the discovery of this very same phenomenon IP: Logged
Pyre Dynasty Member	posted May 19, 2004 09:18 PM so history repeats itself. again and agian and aigan. IP: Logged
Survivor Member	posted May 21, 2004 04:16 AM It baffles me that this could be a thing that people "discover" IP: Logged
MaryRobinette Member	posted May 21, 2004 12:37 PM Hey, people "discovered" America and it occupies a lot more space (and was inhabited) than the "UBB Code is ON" button. When I "discovered" it, I knew quoting was possible, but it took me a while to figure out the right search to find the instructions to do it. IP: Logged
EricJamesStone Member	posted May 21, 2004 01:06 PM Why is America so cold? Because Columbus discovered it! Umm, I guess it works better in original Italian, because the verb scoprire means both discover and uncover. IP: Logged
Survivor Member	posted May 22, 2004 02:00 AM Yeah, the point is that for something to be "discovered" it had to previously have been unknown. I once thought that knowledge of where to find the UBB codes was implicit in being able to use a computer. Though I know know that this is not true, it still puzzles me how it could be untrue.

Jules Member	posted May 24, 2004 05:38 AM What I don't get about this site is that when I use it at home, I get little red icons on the posts that have been updated since I was here last, but when I use it from the office, I don't. Ah well. IP: Logged
Survivor Member	posted May 24, 2004 09:25 AM Probably the office network has cookies disabled. The site needs to use a cookie to know when you last visited. IP: Logged
Jules Member	posted May 24, 2004 02:00 PM It knows who I am without me needing to log back in (which doesn't work when I'm at home), so I wouldn't have thought there was a problem with that. Oh well, I'll live with it, I guess. IP: Logged
Kathleen Dalton Woodbury Administrator	posted May 24, 2004 07:13 PM On the Hatrack River Writers Workshop main page http://www.hatrack.com/forums/writers/cgi/Ultimate.cgi above the links to Open Discussions about Writing, and so on, there is a link that says "Click Here To View Today's Active Topics (all public forums)" and you can use it to catch up on each today's discussion (though I'm not sure how it decides when today started). IP: Logged
Survivor Member	posted May 25, 2004 04:08 AM Jules, that behavior isn't cookie based. I think it is resident in the registry entries for your browser or something like that. IP: Logged
Jules Member	posted May 25, 2004 07:40 AM Quick check... no, apparently I have 'Username' and 'Password' cookies from this site here in the office, but nothing else. Will check what I have at home later IP: Logged
Survivor Member	posted May 25, 2004 12:28 PM Huh...I don't have any cookies from this site right now. That's odd. IP: Logged
JaimeJack New Member	posted January 28, 2010 08:33 PM how in the world can i get into the workshop? IP: Logged
Pyre Dynasty Member	posted January 28, 2010 09:59 PM Well Jaime this is it so you're already in. The fragments and feedback section is were more work gets done. Try looking in the read here first section for more information. Oh and thanks for pulling up a list of old friends I hadn't thought about in a while. IP: Logged
